Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Avoid buying products that are 1p

   If its less than 90% Don't bother, you can be sure that, that item is for sale with another seller. , If details are vague, saying a phrase like, "may be missing a part," or, "some part may not work," do NOT buy the product. , You will then know how long it will be until your item is delivered. ,, E.g.
   
   If you paid by check, figure out how long it will be until it will arrive to the seller, then add the time it takes the item to get there.
   
   If it's pay pal, just use the time you were given from the time you paid. ,, They will be able to tell you the progress on your item. , Its maybe time to involve ebay? , Contact Seller and ask (only if you are uncertain about places they will ship and uncertain of shipping cost and combined shipping as well.
   
   Providing your address ans Zip Code,Postal code should make it clear to the seller.Once you receive your quote save it in your mail if you win they need to honour that quote.At least this way you,ll know where you stand and you won,t get hit with extremely high shipping fees.Example {if you win a .99 item or a very low cost item you won,t get a surprise shipping fee of $65.00 U.S. for a few pieces of jewelry) this happens frequently.Needs to be reasonable shipping and if it does happen to you report it to EBAY.
